Hey guys I'm back once more with the next chapter of the The Maverick Emperor, now the next chapter will be training and after that the Rating Game. So that should be fun. Now I want to thank those who faved and followed my stories or myself, it means a lot. It really does. Also thank you for the reviews it means a lot. Now speaking of reviews, it is time to read them. Merendinoemiliano Oh hey man, and trust me that can happen sometimes, also Magnus and Sanji will become friends down the road but even Issei and Sanji had their ups and downs in the beginning, just give him time. Darth56 glad you liked the chapter dude. Blank Core Devil, you can't be promoted permanently, and you have to understand this version of Magnus came before the Ever After High one, and come on dude Magnus isn't like that and to honest neither is Asia. Also Magnus will get a familiar down the road and trust me it is much better then a hydra. Ace I have seen Monty Python and I love it. And Magnus does enjoy MMA fighting but his personal style is Chuk kon Do, anyway I don't care for hip-hop either but that's just life. Now I need to get going and get ready to work on the next chapter. I hope you all like the training they do, because Magnus will make some progress. Anyway I will see you all later.


So… In the end, I never got a familiar but to honest I was okay with that, the hydra was nothing but a pain in the butt, also… I was in trouble, for worrying everyone, granted the punishment wasn't too bad given the fact I did get into it with a hydra. The punishment was mostly just cleaning duties and a worried hug from Rias, which I was okay with. Anyway, after leaving the familiar forest and having Asia bind her little dragon to herself we all went home for the evening.

"Magnus, weren't you scared facing down that hydra?" Asia asked as we walked home. "I know I was and I was just watching."

Putting my hands behind my head I nodded. "I was but, you can't let fear rule your life."

"But he could have eaten you!" The blonde said staring up at me worried. "Why didn't you run?"

"Well running anyway from that thing would have made me prey, I had to show that thing I was top dog." Shrugging I smiled slightly. "Plus, if you start running then you'll never stop."

Asia stopped walking for a moment before smiling and nodding. "Your right, from now on I'll try to be brave like you."

"Naw don't be like me, see bravery is facing something without fear, but without fear you can't really live, you should have courage, being courageous means you face something despite knowing the danger and you do it anyway." I smiled at the girl and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "See I'm an idiot so I can be brave but you, your smart, so have courage."

Asia scrunched up her face with a small blush on her face before thinking over what I said before shaking her head. "I still don't get it but I will do my best Magnus."

"Good girl." Smiling I let go of her shoulder as we walked up to the house, letting ourselves in and locking the door behind us both I walked over to the living room and plopped down on the couch while Asia went into the kitchen. Stretching out I placed a hand over my eyes and let out a sigh.

"Magnus do you want something to eat?" I heard Asia call from the kitchen.

Thinking over it I shook my head. "Naw I think I will just shower and go to bed."

"Okay just put your clothes and the hamper and I will run a load later." The blonde answered back.

Looking over my shredded clothes I shook my head. "I think I will just throw them out… there's no saving them." Standing to my feet I headed for the stairs but was stopped as Asia stuck a spoon into my mouth. Raising an eyebrow, I smacked my lips. "Peanut butter?" Blinking I sucked the brown stuff off the spoon and pulled it out of my mouth.

"You shouldn't go to bed on an empty stomach." She smiled a little nervously.

Chuckling I nodded. "Your right, so thank you Asia." Pulling the spoon out I handed it back to the former nun who took it and went back into the kitchen. "Goodnight." Heading up the stairs toward my room I tossed off my clothing and climbed into the shower, and after enjoying the feeling of hot water washing over me for an hour I climbed out, and changed into some sweats. Turning off the lights I fell into bed and stretched out.

"Hell, of a day eh partner?"

True enough kid, though I will honest I never knew someone stupid enough to take on a hydra.

Smirking I shook my head and looked down at my left arm as a small green circle appeared in the middle of my hand. "Well now you have, plus we were fine."

Yeah, but try to be more careful in the future kid, whatever happens to you, happens to me.

"Will do." Shaking my head, I stretched out and gave a huge yawn. "No training tonight either please, I rather get some rest."

Of course, partner sweet dreams don't let the hydra bite.

Snorting I closed my eyes and slowly started to fall asleep. "Stupid dragon…."


"Magnus, Magnus you need to get up we will be late." Something or someone was shaking me.

"Uhh…" Groaning I opened my eyes to see Kiba standing above me wearing a tux. "Gah!" Freaking out I scrambled and fell out of the bed. Laughing the blonde helped me to my feet and shook his head. "Come on we need you to get ready, you can't be late to your own wedding."

"Wait wedding? I'm getting married? Who am I marrying? You? No offense but you're not my type." Looking down I saw I was now dressed in a tux like Kiba's. "How in the hell did this happen? Kiba if you dressed while I was asleep I'm going to kick your ass brother."

Laughing the prince of Kuoh academy dusted me off and led me out of the room and out the house to a large church. "You crack me up, Magnus. Come on you don't want to keep the bride waiting." Kiba smirked at me as he and I walked inside the double doors of the massive church.

"Kiba wait!" Running after him I chased the blonde down the aisle and stopped half-way, standing at the alter in a flowing all-white ballroom gown with a tiara and veil was Rias, to be completely honest I was struck dumb by just how truly beautiful she was. Staring at her my mouth dropped. "If this is a dream… I don't want to wake up.

Smiling at me the red-head held out her hand. "Come on Magnus, you don't want to keep me waiting."

"Uh…" Looking around dumbstruck I pointed at myself before she nodded with a smile. Wow… Umm… I had no idea what to do so instead I slowly walked to the alter that is when I noticed all our friends from school were here even the other members of the occult research club who were standing by Rias as her bridesmaids minus Kiba was apparently was my best man. Even my family was here which was surprising, my father and mother were smiling encouragingly while my two sisters were shaking their heads, while my little brother just looked a little bored.

"What are you waiting for sweetie go on." Akeno urged.

"Don't keep her wait." Koneko grumbled.

"Oh, Magnus I am so-so….so happy for you!" Asia cried.

"Come on man enough waiting." Kiba smiled.

Shaking myself from my thoughts I nodded. "Yeah…coming." I ran toward the alter but every time I got to the steps the alter it kept pulling further and further away. "Wait!" Yelling as I tried to get to the alter…" Okay I call hacks! This is my dream!"

"Please like this would ever happen." Freezing in my tracks I shuddered, I knew that voice, and to be honest some nights it still haunted my dreams, I slowly turned around to see Raynare standing in front of me with a smirk.

"Raynare…. but…. but you're dead…" I managed to stutter out as I stared at the fallen angel in horror. Yeah, I knew she was dead but and I'm sure that I could take her even if she was alive… But she was the one that responsible for murdering me so yeah, she will always have a special place in my heart… Right where pure abject rested terror stayed.

Smirking the fallen angel slowly sauntered up and gave me the once over. "I have to say you look good in that suit but to bad you'll never get a chance to wear one. Unless it's for your funeral."

"What are you talking about you stupid chicken-bitch." I asked as I tried to turn around but found my feet stuck to the ground… Okay body please wake up, I don't like where this is going.

"Do you really think that any girl would really love you? You're just a loser. I mean you collect games, movies, you pull pranks? How could anyone love someone that is so childish?" Smirking the fallen angel summoned a spear of light. Growling in anger I tried to summon my boosted gear but found that it wouldn't come when called. "Aw looks like you can't perform under pressure." Laughing Raynare rammed the spear into my chest.


"Gahh!" Shooting awake I looked around panting heavily, I was in my room alone and alive. Looking down at my chest I sighed in relief and laid back down. "What was that about…. Why did I…do I like Rias? I mean yeah she's beautiful and smart, funny, and we get along, not to mention she saved my life but do I like her as more than a friend?" As I laid there trying to figure out my feelings for Rias I couldn't help but think on what dream Raynare said to me. "Yeah…. Maybe she is right…" I grumbled to myself pulling my knees up to my chest.

"Who is right?" In a bright magical circle, Rias appeared inside of my room.

"Rias? What are you doing here?" I asked nervously as I looked up at the red head, smiling Rias turned her head and tackled me and pinned me to my bed. Blinking I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, I had dreams that started like this but damn it now is not the time Rias, not while I'm trying to figure out my feelings for you.

Rias looked extremely desperate when these next these next words escaped her lips. "Magnus, I know this doesn't make much sense but I need you to have sex with me right now."

"Wait what! Shouldn't you buy me dinner first?" Or at least that is what I tried to say but Rias covered my mouth with her hand.

"Shh you don't want Asia to find out, do you?" Looking at the door then back at Rias who had begun to undress, I started to freak out as my nose started to bleed.

Looking back up at her Rias I saw she had stripped off her school uniform and was wearing black lace bra and panties. "Magnus please I need you to do this for me…" Rias turned her head and touched her face slightly looking extremely bashful. "What's the matter am I not good enough for you?"

This is a side of Rias I have never seen before, taking a deep breath and doing my best to shove my hormones down. "No, it's not that it's just…. I…. why me…I'm just me?"

"I have thought about it a lot but there is no other choice, I just hope you forgive me one day for doing this." Rias sighed her blue eyes filled with desperation.

"What are you talking about you always have a choice…. Rias please tell me what is going on maybe I can help." I said but she wasn't listening, unclasping her bra the next head of the Gremory family was now on top of me her hands running up my shirt tracing my chest.

"…. Magnus this is my first time so please be gentle." Rias said with a blush.

Leaning up I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly refusing to let go. "Sorry Rias but I can't do this." Damn it the one time I had control over my body and I was refusing to have sex with perhaps the most beautiful girl in the world…Damn it! Why did I have to be a gentleman?

"What are you doing?" She asked her voice betraying her vulnerability.

"I don't know what is going on but I can't do this….and no it's not because you're not good enough, you're too good for this, and you know it. Rias I care to much about yo- "I stopped as a magical circle appeared in my room for the second time the night. As the light from the circle died down I could see a tall silver haired woman dressed in a blue maid uniform standing in my room. Looking her over she looked to be in her twenties and extremely beautiful, however one look into her silver eyes and I could feel the wisdom and agelessness.

"Okay I am lost what the hell is going on?" I asked confused. "Why are there people appearing in my house?"

Not looking surprised by the woman's appearance Rias sighed. "In the end, I'm too late."

The beautiful silver haired woman took a moment to stare at me and Rias as we were in a very comprising position. "Are you trying to break the agreement by doing something like this?" She asked truly astonished. "If I didn't go this far then my brother and father wouldn't listen to me, right?"

"Both Sirzechs and your father would be disappointed in you after they find out you tried to give your purity away to a person below your station." The silver haired woman frowned her tone filled with disappointment.

"Now wait a min- "I was silenced as Rias placed two fingers on my lips. Raising an eyebrow, I stared at the silver-haired woman, and at Rias with a confused expression. Seriously who was this chick?

"My virginity is mine to do as I please, I won't allow anyone to call my servants lowly even if they are my brother's Queen." Rias crossed her arms, letting go of my lips.

Smacking my lips, I stared at my devil master with a frown. "Okay Rias can you explain why I'm being insulted in my own home?" I said glaring at the strange woman in my room. "Seriously who are you? Why are you in my house?"

Turning to finally look at me the woman bowed her head. "How do you do. I'm a maid in service to the Gremory family, my name is Grayfia please forgiveness my rudeness."

"Yeah I don't think…." Stopping I realized that Rias called her a Queen which means this woman is a power house on Akeno's level or stronger. Crap… I fought against a hydra, and fallen angels but there is no way I could take on someone like her, that's for sure.

Shaking her head Rias climbed off me and started to get dressed. "Grayfia, did you come here on your own accord? or was it my father or brother that sent you?" She asked with a glare.

"All the above." The silver haired woman said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Sighing Rias looked like she gave up. "Forgive me, Magnus let's pretend this never happened okay?"

"Um…No…There is nothing to forgive and I won't forget this, please I want to know what's going on. Rias if you're in trouble, let me know, and I will do whatever I can to help." Staring at the girl with a concerned look.

"Magnus?" Grayfia said turning to face Rias. "Is this him?"

"Yes, he is my precious pawn." Rias smiled fondly at me which caused me to blush.

Turning to face me Grayfia looked at me with some level of respect. "The possessor of the boosted gear, the Red Dragon Emperor."

Facing Grayfia Rias huffed. "I'll listen to you back in my room. I hope you don't mind Akeno being there."

"The Priestess of Thunder? Yes, in fact it is appropriate for a King to have their Queen beside them." Grayfia said.

"Priestess of thunder? Interesting name." I mumbled to myself before shaking my head. "Seriously does everyone in our crew have cool names?" Wait focus Magnus we need to figure out what is going on.

"Grayfia could you give us a minute?" Rias asked, nodding the maid walked out of my room, leaving me wonder if Asia was a wake how would I explain all this. Once we were alone Rias turned to face me and gently placed a kiss on my cheek. Blushing I touched my cheek and stared up at the girl feeling very confused.

"I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I have to go." She said with a sad smile, turning around she walked to the door, giving me a final look

"Wait just tell me what is wrong and I can help, I'll do whatever I can just tell me." I begged the girl, I knew she was in trouble but I couldn't do anything if she didn't talk to me.

"You're too sweet." With that she walked out of my room, leaving me alone once more in the darkness.

Sighing I fell back onto my bed feeling even more confused than ever. "What the fuck is going on in my life?"


The next day Asia and I were walking to school I couldn't help but think on what went on the other night. Ever since I met Rias she has always been a calm and cool collected but last night…. She was totally different, she was nervous, desperate, vulnerable and in trouble. I hated seeing her like that, granted it did prove she had other emotions and showed that despite the fact she was still just a teenage girl. Frowning my mind went back to last night.

(Flashback)

"Magnus, I know this doesn't make much sense but I need you to have sex with me right now."

"I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I have to go." She said with a sad smile, turning around she walked to the door.

(End of flashback)

"I'm not sure what is going on but I will find out." I grumbled out a sigh with my hands in my pockets. I don't know what is going on but I never wanted to see her like that ever again.

"Figure what out Magnus?"

Snapping out my thoughts I looked at down at Asia. "Sorry, it's nothing don't worry about it." I apologized.

"Are you okay? You look upset." She asked worriedly. "Did you have a bad dream?"

"I'm fine, it's just worried about Rias she hasn't been herself lately." Shaking my head I huffed out a sigh.

"You don't think it's my fault, do you? She could be stressed having me around." Asia said sadly.

"Not at all, Rias cares about you Asia just like we all do." I said with a smile which caused Asia to blush brightly.

"Magus, Asia good morning!" Turning around we, both saw Kiba walking up to us with a smile on his face.

"Good morning Kiba." Asia greeted smiling brightly.

"Morning bro." I waved slightly at the other guy, my mind still on the events of last night. The three of us decided to walk to class together, as we walked I deiced to ask Kiba about Rias since he had known her longer than either Asia or I did, maybe this was just a normal occurrence… I seriously doubt it but hey you never know. "Hey Kiba, I have a question to ask you."

"Sure, fire away." The blonde shrugged.

"Have you noticed that Rias has been acting weird lately?" I asked curious to see if I wasn't the only one that had noticed.

"I'm glad I thought for a little whole Koneko and I were the only ones that noticed." Kiba said with a sigh. "It might be Gremory business, the only person that would have any idea is Akeno."

Frowning I nodded my head. "I guess being Rias's Queen means she is privy to a lot of things we aren't then." I concluded with a sigh.

"So, you don't have any idea?" Asia responded.

Stopping in his track Kiba's face turned stone cold serious, I didn't like the look on his face.

"Kiba what is it?" Asia asked with a worried look.

"Something tells me it isn't good." I muttered with a frown on my face.

Turning to look at us Kiba nodded his head. "You're right if this is what I think it is, then this is bad news."


Getting through the school day wasn't easy but it finally ended together Asia, Kiba and I rushed to the old-school building where the club room was. Stepping inside we saw Akeno, Rias and Koneko but the thing that shocked me the most was Grayfia who seemed to be in the middle of a conversation, and from the looks of it, Rias didn't seem happy at all.

"Grayfia what are you doing here?" I asked surprised. "I thought you would have left by now."

"You know her Magnus?" Asia asked turning to look at me.

"Sort of." I said crossing my arms over my chest, I still hadn't told Asia about Rias's little visit and I didn't intend to. What happened was between Rias, myself and Grayfia.

Rias who sat at her desk looked rather annoyed at us barging in told us all to sit down. "Now that we're all here we can begin."

"Rias if I may so bold as to speak openly?" Grayfia bowed before the red-head.

"Wow she sounds so polite…" Asia hid behind me.

"What are you doing back there?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Actually- "Rias started but was interrupted by a wave of power that poured into the room, covering my eyes as a bright light appeared I could make out a magical circle. "That doesn't look like the Gremory crest…"

"Because it isn't." Koneko glared at the circle.

"It belongs to the Phoenix clan." Akeno commented helpfully but despite her cheery tone I knew she was bothered by all this as well.

"Damn it." Rias sighed rubbing the bridge of her nose.

The light from the circle soon became flames that swirled around forming a fiery vortex sending sparks all over the room. Covering my face from the heat and intense light I could barely make out the shadow of someone standing amid the fire. The figure in the fire slashed his hand across the flames and the fire vanished leaving in its place was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties with spikey blond hair and dark blue eyes. He wore a suit dark red suit with a white button up shirt with the first two buttons undone at the top. I don't know but something about this guy pissed me off, looking down I gripped my left wrist to keep it from shaking.

Watch him kid he is nothing but trouble.

"Riser Phenex has arrived." The blonde said to no one to no one but himself.

"Who is this douche?" I mumbled loud enough for only Asia hear but this guy had better hearing then I gave him credit for because he turned to glare at me before laughing.

"I'm hurt Rias; you haven't told you servant about me. He must be a human then if he hasn't heard of me otherwise he would show the proper respect." Riser frowned glaring at me.

"I haven't told him because it wasn't necessary." Rias glared at the blonde guy crossing her arms across her chest.

"This is Riser Phenex." Grayfia spoke up pointing toward the blonde man. "He's a pure-blood High-class devil, and the third son of the House of Phenex." The maid introduced. "He is also the husband of the next head of Gremory."

"Husband?" Looking at Rias I jerked my thumb at the blonde guy. "Your married to this clown?"

"Clown?" Riser growled.

"He is not my husband, he's my fiancé." Rias air quoted the word husband. "We are engaged."

Making himself comfortable Riser sat on one of the couches in the club room, Rias sat next to him slowly being molested as his hand rubbed her thigh while the rest of us forced to watch, Akeno served the prick tea. "Lovely. This tea made by Rias's Queen is simply delicious." Riser said drinking from his cup.

"Thank you for the compliment." Akeno said with a fake smile. Every second this guy stayed here the more pissed off I got, I was sick watching him molest the red head girl and with each passing second my desire to rip his head off grew stronger. Shaking I fought the urge to jump over the couch and slamming my first right down his throat.

Trust me I wouldn't mind sinking my fangs in him myself. Ddraig growled.

"Magnus, cool it we need to show some respect." Koneko said looking up at me before turning to glare at Riser.

"It'll be okay Magnus." Asia mumbled hiding behind me slightly afraid of the blonde devil.

Sighing in frustration Rias stood to her feet in anger tired of Riser touching her. "Give it a rest Riser. I told you I have absolutely zero intention of marrying you."

Smirking Riser shook his head and stood up. "Yes, I know I have heard it all before, but Rias your household situation is quite serious."

"That's none of your concern. As the next head of the Gremory household, I will choose my own husband. My father, brother and everyone else is rushing it. I was promised that I could graduate from a human university before the issue of my marriage would be brought up." Rias stated not giving up the matter.

"True but your father is concerned that your household will go extinct. We lost a great number of pure-bloods during the last war. Even with the war over, our fights with the fallen angels and God hasn't ended yet. We need new blood which means a marriage between two pure-blooded devils wouldn't be that uncommon."

At this Rias bit her lip, Riser had a point pure-blooded devils were low in stock from what I heard. "You're right…" She sighed and shook her head. "I am not going to marry you Riser even the old noble houses have a right to choose."

"Now wait a minute Rias…" Riser began but was cut off by the red head.

"I will marry one I acknowledge."

Go Rias go! I cheered within my mind.

At this Riser's face grew dark. "…. You know Rias that Riser is also a devil that carries the name Phenex, I can't let my name be ruined. Riser didn't even want to come to the human world the fire and air of this world is disgusting, and for a devil like myself that rules over fire and wind Riser can't stand it!" Flames burst from around Riser as flaming wings appeared on his back. "Riser will take you back to the underworld by force even if I have to kill every single one of your servants." Snarling out Riser turned the heat on in the room causing my vison to blur.

Asia's griped my arm tightly as I summoned my boosted gear. "I won't let you lay a hand on Asia." I growled out as my sacred gear started to boost my power.

"Boost!"

Kiba summoned his sword and held it out in front of him as Koneko cracked her knuckles while Akeno's fingers crackled with finally had enough of Riser covered her body in a red aura as she stepped between Riser and us. "Let's see you try it Riser."

Before the brawl could commence Grayfia stepped between the two devils. "Rias, Riser please calm down. If you both were to continue, then I will be forced to step in for Sirzechs honor." She told both with a stern look on her face.

Riser seemed to calm down at this as the flames around him died down.

"To be told by the strongest Queen, even Riser then there is no helping it." Shrugging the blonde turned around. "Even Riser is scared to fight Sirzechs group which is sad to be made up of monsters."

I raised an eyebrow at that and looked to Akeno who just giggled slightly at my unanswered question. "She is even stronger than I am."

Good thing I didn't try to fight her then. I sighed in relief.

"This was to be excepted, if we couldn't settle the matter peacefully then a last resort would be needed." Grayfia said which caused Rias to raise her eyebrow. "Last resort?"

"Rias if you are insistent in your wish, how about you and Riser settle this with a rating game?" The silver-haired woman suggested which caused the room to take in a collective breath… Well expect Asia. "What's a rating game?" She asked looking rather confused.

"Much like a game of chess, it's an intense battle between High Ranking Devils." Kiba explained still keeping his eyes on Riser.

"That is part of the reason why the Evil Pieces were created." Akeno continued with the tradition of explaining things that other started. "It can be used to set your place among devils."

"It's an extremely popular pass time among high ranking devils." Koneko added in.

"It seems like your servants are knowledgeable, but it won't do them any good seeing how Riser has already won many rating games." He boasted, yeah keep on talking douche bag I said keeping my glare focused on him, just need a little more time.

"Since Rias is not of age yet, it will be an unofficial match between pure bloods." Grayfia added in.

"It won't matter." Riser smirked. "What do you say my darling Rias? Shall we battle with passion in our hearts?"

"You disgust me." Rias stated. "But I accept." She smirked back.

"It won't matter." Riser shrugged before looking at all of. "Rias tell me, it this entire group your all servants?"

"So, what if they are?" Rias asked crossing her arms across her chest.

"Allow me to show you." Snapping his fingers, a large magical circle appeared behind Riser and soon the room was filled with a large group of women whose faces were hidden by the fire. "I have a full set of servants, fifteen at my disposal."

The flames disappeared revealing the women, all of them were different outfits, to be honest they all looked like cosplayers rather than a rating game winning team but who am I to judge. Some of them were dressed as maids, one was dressed as a knight, but one really shocked me she was in a pink frilly dress and she looked like Riser. Is that his sister? Disgusting, like I needed another reason to hate this my teeth, I my eyes focused on him.

"Rias why is your servant glaring at me?" Riser questioned.

"Because he- "She started to say but was cut off when I stepped forward.

"Because you disgust me." I growled ou

"WHAT!?" The entire room shook as everyone shouted.

"Someone likes you isn't worthy of Rias, you say you want to have Rias as your wife? Yet from the looks of it you have a fucking harem." Growling slightly, I crossed my arms over my chest. "Not to mention the blonde in the pink dress, she looks like your sister? That is disturbing as fuck dude."

The silence in the room was deafening, until Riser started to laugh. "Riser understands now your jealous, which is perfectly understandable. Ile come here."

Stepping forward from Riser's group a small girl with green hair stepped forward, looking down at her Riser gently patted her head. "Looking up to the upper class is what the low class does, come let us show them how passionate we are."

With that Riser, full on made out with the small girl, he even went so far as to grope her with no shame what so ever. Resisting the urge to gag I rolled my eyes. "Get a room." I muttered as everyone else in the room were looking at the sight with disgust.

Finishing his kiss Riser pushed the young woman away and eyed me with a grin. "Just admit it, your jealous of my harem."

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous of pedo? Seriously you're just a creep who uses women, someone like you shouldn't even be engaged let alone mentioned in the same breath as Rias, your scum." I growled stepping forward. My arms shaking.

That caught Riser off guard who's face twisted into a look on anger, pushing the small girl away from him fire appeared in Riser's eyes. "How dare you call me scum! A low-class devil like yourself should remember his place."

I felt Kiba place his hand on my shoulder. "I know you're upset but he is a high-class devil."

Shaking his hand off my shoulder I growled at the blonde. "I don't care if he is the Queen of England, I will kick his ass with or without a rating game."

Rolling his eyes Riser sighed. "Mira."

Stepping forward from the group a girl with blue hair and a red robe came in between me and Riser, the strange thing was she had a staff with blunt end in her hands.

Blinking I stared at the small girl crossing my arms across my chest. "Really? What's she supposed to do?"

"If you hadn't been training I would say you would be in danger, but still watch yourself."

Rushing forward Mira swung her staff at lighting fast speed toward my stomach, to say I saw the move coming from a mile away is not saying much given the training I under went with Kiba and the others. Quickly side stepping the staff I planted my left fist into the girl's face sending her flying back into Riser's group.

Grinning at the gasp from Riser's group I cracked my knuckles. "Who's next?"

"Explosion!" My boosted gear finished charging. Perfect.

Sighing Riser went from looking bored to upset and punched me in the gut. "If you want something done, you must do it yourself."

Coughing up blood I fell to my knees clutching my stomach, That isn't how it was meant to go.

"Magnus!" Asia tried to rush to my aid but was held back by the others.

"You really think you're better than me?" Riser growled kicking me to the ground. "Pathetic really a low-class reborn like yourself has no right to stand up to someone like me!" The blonde devil shouted as he stepped on my head.

"You know I thought I recognized your sacred gear it's the boosted gear, isn't it? Well I wouldn't be too cocky with that thing. For one Phoenix's are the true master of fire not dragons, and second despite its power no one can skillfully use it."

Growling I lifted my hand and caught Riser's foot as he tried to kick me again and dug the claw like fingers into his shoe and threw him off me. Standing to my feet I shakily shook off the pain and got ready to fight. However, I was forced to the ground as Riser threw me onto the ground again and raised his foot to step on my head.

"Riser enough!" Pushing the blonde away from me Rias bent down to cradle my head. "Grayfia tell my brother we will have a rating game." Bowing Grayfia nodded her head. "I will notify him immediately."Shrugging Riser decided he was bored with me and went back to his harem.

"Riser." Kneeling down Rias gently cradled my head." You will pay for what you have done."

"Riser is looking forward to it." Laughing the blonde devil vanished in flames, the last thing I saw was Riser's smirk and tears in Rias's eyes…. No… I made her cry. Gritting my teeth, I slammed my fist into the ground angrily.


"Ten days that is all the time we will have left to train for the rating game." Rias explained a few hours after the others had left apparently after Riser had left I passed out and needed Asia to heal me so Rias offered to stay behind and watch over me until I woke up. "This handicap is necessary; I hate to admit it but Riser is a skilled opponent we will lead every advantage we can get."

"Yeah…. Rias…Prez can you forgive my earlier outburst?" I asked bowing my head. "If I had just kept my mouth shut…"

"Magnus, you are fine. You did what I couldn't and I want to thank you for that." Rias smiled turning her head. "Now before you go I need to talk to you about something other than this." She said pointedly which caught my attention.

"Hey your welcome, I think." I said looking around awkwardly we both didn't know where to go from here. "Boy this is weird…" I mumbled rubbing the back of my head.

"No kidding…. listen Magnus about last night- "Rias started before I cut her off.

"I understand why you did it and I don't blame you, I'm just sorry I made the situation worse…."

"You're wrong about that, you did what I couldn't and forced me to face my problem instead of running away from it." The red-head smiled gratefully at me.

"Look where it got me." I grumbled looking down at the spot where Riser punched and kicked me. "On the ground, despite all the training and progress I made…"

Shaking her head, the red head wrapped me up into a hug with a smile. "You defended me and I appreciate that more then you know."

Blushing at the hug I stood still just enjoying the embrace, however she let go before too long. "Now I better head home." With that she left leaving me all alone in the club room.

Sighing I bit my lip and shook my head, looking down at my arm and summoned the boosted gear. "Ddraig can you hear me buddy?"

I can what do you need?

"I want you to tell me everything about your power and how I can increase it." I said with a frown. "I need more power."

I have already told you much, but there is one power of the boosted gear I haven't revealed to you yet. The power itself could kill you if you aren't ready for it.

"Really? What is it called?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Scale-Mail.

Smiling I looked out the window of the club room watching Rias walk out of the clubhouse, she turned around and waved slightly at me, waving back I sighed and turned my attention back to the dragon in my arm. "Sounds powerful, Ddraig I want to access this power by the end of the training camp."

Hmm it is possible but I must ask why do you want this power? I heard and saw everything you did; do you want revenge on the Phoenix.

"No, if I wanted revenge for every time someone beat the crap out of me I would be doing nothing else but that…. No, I want this power to help Rias, I will save her from that fried chicken bastard." Glaring I thought about how Rias was crying because of me. "I don't ever want to see her cry again."

I am not entirely sure but I swear I could feel Ddraig grinning. Good enough for me kid.
